Seyed Mohammad Marandi said the current confrontation marks a turning point in the regional balance of power, in an interview for Al Mayadeen, arguing that #Iran will no longer accept a status quo in which the United States and "Israel" can threaten it from military bases across the region. According to Marandi, Tehran aims to push the war until Washington and its Western allies recognize that attacking Iran is no longer an option. He also argues that the war could force broader regional changes, including a challenge to #Gulf states hosting #US bases and a shift in power favoring the Axis of Resistance.

In an interview for #AlMayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi clarified that the #UnitedStates "is being utterly ignorant in its confrontation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the axis of resistance." He explained that #Iran and the Axis of Resistance have not yet begun escalation and did not initiate the war, but have been trying to prevent the region from being destroyed. Gulf states in the region, Marandi says, miscalculated by underestimating the Axis of Resistance and overestimating the #US, and warned them that their only solution is to back down and force the United States to leave. #IranWar #WestAsia Seyed Mohammad Marandi

Professor Mohammad Marandi describes to Al Mayadeen a month-long wave of public mobilization across Iran, with crowds taking to the streets nightly in cities, towns, and even remote areas despite harsh weather conditions to support the Iranian government amid the US-Israeli aggression. Marandi says Iran is standing against a broader coalition that extends beyond the United States to include its allies and regional partners, pointing to sanctions, intelligence-sharing, and logistical support as part of that dynamic.

In a sharp interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi reiterated that "Iran will not give up its sovereignty" nor will it "allow anyone to take away its right to enrich uranium," stressing that Tehran is open to offering guarantees if the United States has genuine concerns. He argued that Iran’s "nuclear program was never really an issue," citing former US Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, who pointed that out in his resignation letter. Instead, Marandi stated that the war waged by "Trump and Netanyahu against the Islamic Republic of Iran" is politically driven, particularly "because of the Israeli regime and the Zionist lobby."

Professor Mohammad Marandi said the Western narrative around the US-Iran talks in Islamabad is being deliberately twisted. During an interview for Al Mayadeen, Marandi affirmed that Iran never discussed halting uranium enrichment. Those claims, he argued, were entirely manufactured by Western outlets to lay the groundwork for future war on Iran. By falsely portraying Iran as agreeing to terms it never accepted, the United States and its media ecosystem can later accuse Iran of "breaking commitments" if the US or "Israel" or both decide to attack Iran again.
